Cacao pods (x2)

Cacao Pods (pack of 2) are natural elements derived from the cacao tree, featuring a curved design and a sturdy texture. They add an authentic and functional touch to bioactive setups while promoting the well-being of wildlife.

They allow you to:

• Provide exploration and resting areas for microfauna, small reptiles, and amphibians (such as dart frogs that love to hide there)

• Serve as a substrate for biofilm development and beneficial microorganisms, creating an excellent feeding zone for isopods and springtails

• Structure the decor with a realistic “tropical” or “natural forest” look thanks to their unique shape as a natural shelter or cut

Advantages of La Swamp Cacao Pods:

• 100% natural, untreated, carefully selected

• Ideal for tropical terrariums, bioactive setups, paludariums, and freshwater aquariums (blackwater biotopes)

• Decompose slowly, releasing beneficial tannins and nourishing microfauna over time

Recommended use:

• In terrariums: place directly on the substrate to create shaded, humid hiding spots for your invertebrates or small reptiles.

• In aquariums: soak or boil for a few minutes to promote immersion, release excess initial tannins, and ensure clean integration.

Lifespan:

Cacao pods decompose very slowly, providing durable support and a solid hiding place for microfauna for several months.
